At the time I thought it and he were gross, but it was just there, out in the open. That’s how normalized this shit was then.28 Dec 2025 20:15 +0000at://did:plc:ign2htsihccomxrc6ubchwc6/app.bsky.feed.post/3mb3562d5h22nhttps://bsky.app/profile/cehrick.bsky.social/post/3ma4fcixa2c2aWord of warning in this holiday season. Do not assume that gift cards are more secure than cash. I have spent the last week trying to get a refund of money that was stolen from a gift card. Scammers somehow get the number and then grab the money before the recipient has a chance to redeem. #Kroger16 Dec 2025 14:48 +0000at://did:plc:ign2htsihccomxrc6ubchwc6/app.bsky.feed.post/3ma4fcixa2c2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/cehrick.bsky.social/post/3m3jbvvtqgc2vNo Kings Louisville.

They want to suffocate anything that stands for truth and beauty and the pursuit of knowledge. It’s really that simple.

Last week, DT said Ukraine responsible for Russian invasion because didn’t do enough to prevent it. Today Ukraine to blame because didn’t show appropriate gratitude. Ukraine as colonial feminine.
